The Venga Bus is Coming . . . . .

limerick_man · 04-09-2008 6:52pm #1

Haha, I didnt know there was so much going on in UL, gigs wise, i thought it was all mindless drinking in town/lodge (which i'm sure theres still plenty of)

Venga Boys, Delorentos, The Coronas, Damo Dempsey, and comedy and all the rest of it!

Plus the arena is being opened up for gigs!

Sounds like the making of a good year to be honest

PeakOutput · 04-09-2008 7:23pm

the venga boys should be humanely put down but other than that sounds pretty good cant wait to see damo

anyone know if the tottys have been put on sale yet or what?

limerick_man · 04-09-2008 7:30pm

Agreed the music of the Venga Boys is not something I'd usually desire - nor have ever done in the past - but with alcohol and stables thrown into the mix, it makes for a more interesting night!

Funkstard · 04-09-2008 10:22pm

The arena's being opened up for gigs? Explain please?

Harpy · 05-09-2008 4:03pm

yeah i saw that, i read in the paper shayne ward's playing in the arena the october bank holiday weekend..

bluedolphin · 05-09-2008 6:12pm

Ah even if you hate the venga boys you have to admit that the gig will be some craic! Honestly, cheese is fantastic!!

Tottis go on sale Monday morning from SU reception. €120 (or €125...can't remember exactly!!) each; only 125 tottis available so queue early!!

Damo in the Monnet...whoop whoop!!!!! I've been plugging the ents dudes for over a year to bring him back!!!

Damo!!

bluedolphin · 05-09-2008 6:20pm

€12 for venga boys.

totti tickets get you entry into pretty much everything for the year...

Patricide · 06-09-2008 2:28pm

You know your all going to go like, I don't like the vengaboys but im sure it will be a good laugh anyway.

Have to admit though the blizzards the other night were savage

Patricide · 06-09-2008 4:12pm

Seen the vengaboys when they played rag week in tralee, a bad night was had by all

cson · 06-09-2008 5:34pm

The first question in my exclusive-never-been-done-before-in-UL-this-is-a-bad-alternative-to-meeting-Bressie interview for the Venga Boys;

So guys, what's your favourite cheese?

Hehe...

Their poster is a little bit camp!

I think "flying in on their big dildo" was how Keith introduced it to the freshers in the concert hall IIRC

jkeire · 06-09-2008 5:52pm

that'd be the one. They looked like a village people tribute band as well. Still, bet it'll be a good night!

toushea · 07-09-2008 6:47pm

Anyone know when da tickets for the vengaboays go on sale

limerick_man · 07-09-2008 11:49pm

monday i'd imagine

PeakOutput · 08-09-2008 4:18am

Careful now. We don't want that person coming back and saying take it to adverts.ie. :pac:

Won't matter.

ticket sales are off limits thru.out boards with the exception of sporting tickets but even then it's hard to know.

As for a benja voys ticket...it's UL specific so no real problem as long as it's face value like.

boobookitty · 15-09-2008 9:36am

I am. Some of my friends from home are coming up too.

€15 a ticket! Daylight Robbery!

I was also advised that if I wanted to truly enjoy it, be very, very drunk.

which it will be

digiking · 15-09-2008 6:22pm

Think I'll pay a visit down for a bit.

It's handy knowing the PA supplier for all the UL gigs, Can go down and hang around with him for abit.

I get to see what kinda penance he has to do for his sins, I reckon this is a new level...VengaBoys Uggh

1huge1 · 16-09-2008 11:36am

ok got my tickets yesterday... shame on me and the likes. but gonna head into trinity rooms after should be a good laugh (apparently a 90's night on there)

For shame the Lodge it should be!!

Rineanna · 17-09-2008 12:32pm

So what did ye think? Besides the whole two hour delay, which happens I guess, I thought it was fun, if a little short. They were only on stage for barely an hour, if that.

The lip-synching was kinda funny. I don't believe they actually sang any song themselves. Has the fourth member left the band?! Plus, I'm pretty sure one or even two of the two guys weren't the original members of the band. It definitely wasn't worth €15, but I had a little fun all the same.

Harpy · 17-09-2008 1:31pm

i thought it was really good, haven't seen an atmosphere like that in the stables since i've come to college it was brilliant.. they should have acts like that every couple of weeks..
yea the two lads are new, they're not the originals,

Chong · 17-09-2008 1:33pm

Lads, how does one get tickets to this Monet place, Lisa Hannigan is playing soon and I would love to see her play.

Try the university concert hall or the students union.

Dr. Baltar · 17-09-2008 2:06pm

That was hilarious last night.

klong · 17-09-2008 4:20pm

I could hear them from the Plassey office when the traffic fecked off :eek:

will the totti cover it?

1huge1 · 17-09-2008 5:37pm

well that was the biggest waste of €15 ever!
might as well of just listened to the cd like

Chong · 17-09-2008 5:54pm

Nice one Ninety9r cheers.

digiking · 18-09-2008 11:03am

Yeah, The whole 2hr delay kinda sucked, i can remember standing with the sound guys at 9ish and there was no sign of them anywhere, Oh and playing for 35mins was kinda short but i have to admit it was fun while it lasted...

As for putting on gigs every week or two - that'd cost a load to do, it's actually quite pricy to organise a decent gig*

*have learnt this working for the ISDA Festival which ul is hosting in april

Rineanna · 20-09-2008 4:36pm

I hadn't heard of Lisa hannigan before I saw her on the Late Late last Friday and on 2fm during the week, but she sounded class and I've got me ticket for Wednesday!

cson · 20-09-2008 9:21pm

She did a lot of backing vocals for Damien Rice, The Blowers Daughter and my own fav Unplayed Piano are two that stick in my mind.
